Meet Our Spokespeople
Since 1982, the Academy's Spokesperson Program has shared nutrition and healthy eating messages to millions of Americans annually through print, broadcast and digital media. This volunteer initiative supports the Academy's mission, promotes RDNs as trusted experts and elevates the visibility of the profession and the Academy.
Academy spokespeople are skilled at speaking with the media and excel in translating nutrition science into information consumers can easily understand. To contact an Academy spokesperson, call Meghan Tisinger at 703-215-5761 or email the Media Relations team.
